Guided Writing: Autumn Poem

Note: The following poem was written by our ESL class: Nathan, Ethan, Samuel, Priestelle, Rafael, Joao, Joshua, and Adam. We first learned about symbols and read a poem about autumn. After that, we worked to come up with images of fall that used our senses and strung them together into a poem of our own.


Fall Is In the Air

Wind blowing through trees
as leaves fall
Red, yellow and orange
Acorns crunching beneath our feet

We think of jack-o-lanterns
shining brightly
from dark windows and porches
at night
And wait for gooey candy
and the smell of hot apple pie
